Intro 1
(D major) (D major) (D major) (D major)
Verse 1
I was (D major) hangin' 'round town,
just (A major) spendin' my time
Out of a job, not (D major) earnin' a dime
A feller steps up and he (G major) said, "I suppose
(A major) You're a bronc fighter
from looks of your clothes."
"You (D major) figures me right,
I'm a (A major) good one." I claim
"Do you happen to have any
(D major) bad ones to tame?"
Said "He's got one, a (G major) bad one to buck
For (A major) throwin' good riders,
he's had lots of (D major) luck."
(D major)

Verse 2
I (D major) gets all het up and I (A major) ask what he pays
To ride this old nag for a (D major) couple of days
He offered me ten; I (G major) said, "I'm your man
A (A major) bronc never lived that I couldn't span."
He (D major) said: "Get your saddle,
I'll (A major) give you a chance"
In his buckboard we hopped
and he (D major) drives to the ranch
I stayed 'til mornin' and (G major) right after chuck
I (A major) stepped out to see if this outlaw can (D major) buck
(D major)
Verse 3
(D major) Down in the horse corral (A major) standin' alone
Is an old Caballo, a (D major) Strawberry Roan
His legs are all spavined,
he's (G major) got pigeon toes
(A major) Little pig eyes and a big Roman nose
(D major) Little pin ears that (A major) touched at the tip
A big 44 brand was (D major) on his left hip
U-necked and old, with a (G major) long, lower jaw
I could (A major) see with one eye,
he's a regular out (D major) law
(D major)
Verse 4
I (D major) gets the blinds on 'im and it (A major) sure is a fright
Next comes the saddle
and I (D major) screws it down tight
Then I steps on 'im and I (G major) raises the blinds
(A major) Get outta the way boys, he's gonna unwind
He (D major) sure is a frog-walker,
he heaves (A major) a big sigh
He only lacks wings, for to (D major) be on the fly
He turns his old belly right (G major) up to the sun
He (A major) sure is a sun-fishin', son-of-a- (D major) gun
(D major)
Verse 5
He's a (D major) bout the worst bucker
I've (A major) seen on the range
He'll turn on a Nickel
and (D major) give you some change
He hits on all fours and (G major) goes up on high
(A major) Leaves me a spinnin' up there in the sky
I (D major) turns over twice and I (A major) comes back to earth
I lights in a cussin' the (D major) day of his birth
I know there are ponies that I (G major) cannot ride
There's (A major) some of them left,
they haven't all died
I'll (D major) bet all my money, the (A major) man ain't alive
That'll stay with Old Strawberry
When he makes his high (D major) dive
